JOHN BEASLEY / DARRYL JONES / NDUGUCHANCLER - 3 BRAVE SOULS

Three generations of MilesDavis alumni having funplaying progressive rootsmusic – keyboardist JohnBeasley, bassist Darryl Jonesand master drummer NduguChancler – join forces in aformidable new funk triocalled 3 Brave Souls.Harnessing Beasley andNdugu’s hometown earthyundertones of New Orleansand Jones’ Chicagostreet-funk 3 Brave Souls areknee-deep in the groove ontheir self-titled debut forBFM Jazz.

From the revved-up, rootsy Meters romp “Wanna Get Away” and the downhome “Nothing Leftto Say,” both featuring the remarkably soulful vocals of Sy Smith, to the hard-hitting Fela Kutilike instrumental “Yabis,” 3 Brave Souls make a potent statement on this debut outing. The aptlytitled “Nail it Down” is a thick pocket groover with spoken words of wisdom by Ndugu. Themellow ballad “Come and Gone” is a showcase for Jones’ melodic penchant on the bass whileBeasley conjures a hypnotic world music vibe on the exotic “Ayala.” Guest harmonica aceGregoire Maret is featured on the lovely and lyrical “N2U,” Daryl Jones showcases his vocalability on “Stay” with a Sly Stone-ish sound; and Sy Smith returns for the gorgeous ballad“Love’s Graces,” which Beasley wrote.

John Beasley who is the consummate musician, composer, and music director has worked withChaka Khan, James Brown, Steely Dan, Queen Latifah, Aretha Franklin, and is currently theMD for ABC-TV “Duets” (featuring judges John Legend, Robin Thicke, Jennifer Nettles andKelly Clarkson). Beasley wrote infectious songs that leave your foot tapping. His jazzbackground includes eight years with Freddie Hubbard and an eye-opening year (1989) withMiles Davis. Beasley’s previous record, Positootly! was nominated for a 2011 Grammy Award.

Bassist extraordinaire Darryl Jones is one half of the funky rhythm tandem in 3 Brave Souls.With his rock, jazz, blues experience playing with Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, and since 1993touring with the Rolling Stones, groovemeister of the highest order, Jones’ credits include workwith such pop stars as Cher, Madonna, Sting, Lionel Richie, Eric Clapton and Peter Gabriel.

The distinctive drums on Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” could only be Leon “Ndugu” Chancler.With a list of studio recording credits as long as the Dead Sea Scrolls, inventive drummer andconsummate timekeeper, Ndugu has recorded and toured with Santana, Miles Davis, MichaelJackson, Herbie Hancock, George Duke and Weather Report.

3 Brave Souls, Beasley, Ndugu, & Jones, came together to write listenable, danceable melodicmusic bringing the funk and plenty of downhome soul, with an undercurrent of jazz sensibility tomove you to the dance floor!
